Chapter Nine:
Videl froze, Bulma Briefs, she was on the phone with the Bulma Briefs, "Hello, I think I have the wrong number, sorry."
"Wait," Bulma said quickly, making Videl halt in her process of hanging up the phone, "You're calling to talk to Gohan right?"
The raven-haired girl froze, she was on the phone with Bulma Briefs and she knew Gohan, this was just too weird.
"Um, yes, how do you know Gohan?" Videl replied slowly.
"I'm his guardian, godmother, whatever you want to call it," Bulma answered nonchalantly.
Videl couldn't believe it, Gohan was Bulma's adopted son, why wouldn't he tell her something like that. Gohan ran into the room and snatched the phone away from the overbearing mate of the Saiyan prince.
"Videl?" Gohan asked, checking to make sure she was still there.
"Yeah," Videl answered.
"Sorry about tha-"
"How could you not tell me that Bulma Briefs is you step mother?" Videl snapped her anger bluntly expressed.
"I'm sorry," he said sadly. Videl let a long aggravated sigh leave her lips, "Why wouldn't you tell me?" Her tone this time was a lot less angry and more saddened.
"I just-" Gohan began.
But before he could explain himself, "I'm sorry Gohan, I'll have to call you back," Videl explained as she hung up. Gohan sighed as he turned off his phone, a speechless Bulma in front of him.
"Gohan I'm sorr-"
Gohan slowly picked his head up and faced the blue haired scientist, "Here do you want to call any one else and tell them that I'm a half alien freak?" Gohan barked as he threw his phone on his bed and stomped out of the room and back to the GR, where a full night of training awaited him.
The next afternoon Videl wandered the hall aimlessly.
She didn't know why she was doing this but in her heart she knew that she wanted to find Gohan. While walking down the hall she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Gohan," she moaned as she turned around.
"Um, not even close," Erasa explained with a cocked eyebrow.
"Sorry Erasa," Videl sighed as she rubbed her eye as she yawned.
"You expecting Gohan?" Erasa asked slyly.
"I don't know," Videl said sourly.
"What happened?" Erasa questioned.
Videl was about to explain the whole Bulma situation, but paused, she knew that if Gohan didn't tell anyone he obviously had a reason.
"We just had a little tiff," Videl explained vaguely.
"Oh you'll be over it soon, every relationship goes through little things like that," Erasa chirped as the females walked to their next class.
As they entered Videl's eyes automatically drifted to Gohan's seat where the Demi-Saiyan sat anxiously awaiting her arrival. Erasa and
Videl walked over to the two males as Gohan and Sharpener engaged in a conversation about the tournament, that Gohan was half heartily paying attention to, his mind on much more relevant things.
"Hey Erasa, hey Videl," the longhaired jock smirked as they two girls sat down in the middle of the two gentlemen.
Gohan reached for Videl's hand under the desk, which she did not resist for him to hold it.
She loved how the warmth of his hand's felt against hers and how gently he stroked them, like they were precious and fragile and needed to be handled with care.
Their moment however was abruptly interrupted by the teachers slamming over a large pile of books on the desk. "Good afternoon class," she said with a genuine voice.
A few scattered responses replied back before the teacher began talking about their lesson.
The Demi-Saiyan however ignored them as he gazed at Videl's fine features.
"Mr. Son!" the teacher snapped after several attempts to grab the half-breed teen's attention. "Huh?" Gohan dumbly replied as he whipped his head to see the teacher's fuming expression.
"Would you help pass out the books or are you going to continue to stare at Miss Satan?" she snapped bitterly.
"Sorry ma'am," he said quickly as he walked towards that front of the room, many snickers he caught as he passed.
Gohan passed out the wobbly stack of books as Videl watched him with interest, even at this trivial task.
She was so distracted by the Demi-Saiyan she didn't realize that he watch was going off until Erasa pointed it out to her.
After a nervous laugh Videl answered it, "What is it Captain?"
"Videl the Red Shark gang is at the Mayor's office and is holding him hostage, they say they won't let him go until they fight your father," Videl's wrist communicator explained.
"I'll be right there Captain," Videl explained as she stood up and ran down the steps of the classroom. "May I be excused ma'am?" Videl asked before she darted out of the classroom, the teacher was about to protest but Videl ran out too quickly.
"Thank you." Gohan took head to this message as he came up with an excuse to get out of there to help Videl. "Ma'am can I please go to the nurse I don't feel good," Gohan made up as he held his stomach in agony.
"Yes go ahead Gohan, just don't throw up in the hall," the teacher said in disgust as she waved him off with the back of her hand.
"Thank you ma'am," Gohan groaned as he left out the door.
As soon as he was far enough away he ran down the hall and out the door and then he took to the sky. He flew as fast as he could and when Videl's chopper came into view he transformed into his alter ego, the Gold Fighter.
He sped up and flew steadily with the yellow vehicle as he looked in at its driver.
Being a Super Saiyan was not smart when he was around Videl, it tripled his instincts if not more, he could go too far when he was like that.
Videl looked to her left to see the Gold Fighter staring at her intently, she smiled as she went faster in her Jet. Gohan followed never letting her go in front of him or behind him.
Finally after their staring contest Videl began to land and the Gold Fighter followed suit. After putting her vehicle in its capsule Videl and the Gold Fighter arrived at the Mayor's office.
In the distance they could see a huge man with his arm holding they mayor in a headlock.
"Videl-" the mayor began but his last words were incomprehensible as another man hit him with the back of his gun.
"Well, well little girl I see your daddy sent you instead," the biggest man, probably the leader, began.
"My father is a very busy man, so if you want to fight him, you'll have to go through me first," Videl growled. "Well then get your father out here because I will make quick work of you," the leader said with a thick accent.
"Oh yeah? Well we'll see about that," Videl snapped as he charged towards the leader.
The leader just dropped into a guard as he waited for her to come closer.
When she was only a few feet away the leader grabbed her arm and flung her into some bushes that outlined the perimeter of the lawn. "Videl, no!" both the mayor and the Gold Fighter said in unison.
"Now bring on the man that saved the world from Cell," the boss laughed evilly.
"You want to fight that guy that saved the world from Cell huh?" the Gold Fighter, who was now a Super Saiyan 2, asked dangerously. "What do you want kid?" one of the smaller guys barked.
"Can it Slim Jim," the boss demanded, "Sorry what I did to your girlfriend but she was in the way." Gohan felt anger rise up in him, "Well this is the fight you wanted, you're going to get it," he whispered bitterly as he fazed out and reappeared behind the leader sending a sharp round house to his jaw.
The leader spun around and crashed to the ground, a thin trail of blood marking where the Gold Fighter had kicked him. The other members of the gang pulled out their weapons, all pointing towards the half-breed teen.
"You're going to pay for that," Jimbo, a medium built man, growled as he pulled the trigger of his gun.
Swiftly reacting, the Gold Fighter caught the bullet behind his back as he casually dropped it. All the men began to become nervous. "I can take it from here," a feminine voice explained from behind.
"Videl?" Gohan questioned as he saw Videl limping to walk towards the leader.
"Oh I guess that little girl has more fight in her than we though," the boss stated mockingly as he began laughing, the rest of his gang joining in as Videl glared at them as she quickened her pace as she did a flying side kick to the oblivious leader.
When her boot made contact with his jaw he stumbled back a bit, a footprint firmly accented in his face.
Videl landed as she got ready for his next move, but was taken off guard when he was chuckling.
He rotated his neck as several faint cracks were heard, but returned his focus back to the daughter of the champ with an evil sneer plastered on, as the attack had no affect on him.
Videl growled, she hated being mocked by people and charged back, determined to clear any amusement from his face.
He grunted as she made contact with several fierce kicks and punches but none seemed to do any damage.
From the sidelines the Gold Fighter watched in awe as Videl continued her pursuit of the leader.
To say the least he was impressed, but decided that she didn't need his help.
He now changed his attention to the mayor who was still being held hostage under the four other gang members.
After fazing himself behind the enemy lines he appeared next to the two gangsters, that were stunned by the Houdini like entrance he made. Before they could pull out their weapons the Gold Fighter hit them both over the head with his fists as they collapsed in front of him.
"Thank you young man," the mayor stated in astonishment.
"It was nothing sir, are you okay?" the Gold Fighter asked as he began untying the ropes they had firmly wrapped around his wrists.
"Back off kid," one of the two remaining gangsters warned as he pulled out a large gun.
Gohan used his strength and broke the ropes. "I warned you," the gangster barked as he fired the weapon as a missile like bullet came shooting out of its holder.
The mayor cringed expecting to be before the mercy of King Yemma very soon, but the Gold Fighter held out his hand and stopped the bullet right in its tracks and surprisingly it went back towards the gangster.
He stumbled back, as he knew the timer on it was about to go out but sadly the explosion engulfed him and when it cleared revealed an unconscious man.
The Gold Fighter smirked, pleased with himself as he broke the remaining binds on the mayor's wrist. The mayor stood up quickly after being released as the police escorted him to their car, so he would be safe.
"I got you," the Gold Fighter heard the boss snap as he held Videl in a head lock, she began struggling frantically trying to get loose from the man.
"Videl!" Gohan shouted as he ran to help her.
"Get off me," Videl barked as she elbowed him in the ribs, causing him to double over and release her. The Gold Fighter skidded to stop.
"That's it," the leader growled to himself as he pulled out a gun aiming dead center at Videl's head, "You are getting your father out here now."
The raven-haired girl looked palely at the black revolver that was focused at her.
The television crews that surrounded the scene kept recording as the only remaining gangster made his threat.
"If Mr. Satan doesn't get his ass out here in five minutes his little girl is going to be blown to bits."
"Hold it right there," one of the junior cops barked as he held nervously held out his own gun to the boss of the gang.
The boss was easily twice the size of the junior cop, which made him even more uncomfortable.
The leader of the gang smirked, "Fine go ahead, shoot me, but how do you know you won't miss and hit the little girl," he inquired grabbing Videl around the neck with his arm and holding her up in the air.
Before the junior cop or the leader of the gang could do anything the giant holding Videl dropped her and fell on the ground like a rock.
Blood seeped out his head where a huge gash was made. Videl looked and saw the Gold Fighter holding his fingers up and looking dead on the gangster.
"Is he-" Videl questioned as she looked back to the Gold haired warrior.
He nodded, "Yes. Yes he is."
The daughter of the champ was still speechless, "How did you?"
"It is something I've always been able to do," the Gold Fighter explained vaguely.
Deep inside Gohan had no idea why he killed someone, that wasn't in his nature but something was telling him deep inside himself to kill him.
He had only remembered this feeling when someone he cared for was attacked or was in danger. Like when Freiza attacked Piccolo, Krillin and Vegeta.
Also when the Junior Cells were beating up his friends and family, he couldn't take that. This time however was different, this man wasn't that dangerous like the evil Android and Space Tyrant, he was just a guy with a gun.
This puzzled the Demi-Saiyan but he felt no remorse, which was odd, he had just taken a life and it didn't bother him.
"I should get going," the Gold Fighter stated.
"No," Videl shouted from across the lawn of the Mayor's office.
Her tone then grew soft, "Don't leave."
She walked off to the side of the building where they could be alone and not under the visible microscope of the press.
Unknowingly they walked closer to each other until they were within inches of each.
"Videl-" the Gold Fighter began seriously but was cut off by two fingers place on his lips, in the familiar way Videl did with him that night in the Hover Car.
They were so close now that Videl could feel his breath on her face. Some how this was familiar to her, like she had been this close to him before.
Her heart began to pound out of her chest as his hand traced the delicate features of her face.
Gohan felt weird while doing this, he was making Videl cheat on him but his Saiyan instinct were much more in control when he was a Super Saiyan so he didn't mind.
Each new spot on Videl's face he touched she felt shivers run down her spin, being touched by him was like nothing else she had ever felt. Now instead of touching her face he lined it gently kisses.
The raven-haired girl closed her eyes as she felt him become closer and closer to her lips. She cursed at him in her head as he tortured her by making her wait for the contact she begged for.
"Kiss me," she demanded in a whisper.
He obeyed as he pulled her head to his.
After the Gold Fighter touched her lips with his tongue she opened her mouth to intensify the already heated kiss.
Finally after the long battle of tug-o-war the Saiyan half of Son Gohan triumphed over the less superior human side as he latched his arms onto her hips to pull hers up to his.
Just then Gohan's Saiyan hearing heard the snickering of someone and the click of a camera. Abruptly Gohan pulled away from Videl and directed his attention to where he heard someone.
Immediately Videl looked over to where the Gold Fighter was looking.
There were two men who were obviously paparazzi, who both had cameras in their hands.
As soon as they noticed the two teens looking at them they ran away.
"Oh my god," Videl whispered her hand going over her mouth. The Gold Fighter clenched his fists as began running after them.
The two men continued running and then hopped into their car where they floored the vehicle to make a quicker get away.
Gohan saw the men drive away and jumped to become airborne to catch up with them.
As the Demi-Saiyan scanned the road he made sure it was empty before he made his blunt statement of privacy.
He powered up as his Gold aura erupted around the still Super Saiyan Gohan. He began to close in on the two men who ever so often would turn around to check if they were being followed.
"Sint look out!" the man in the passenger side barked as the driver whipped around before screeching to a stop by the Saiyan hand of the Gold Fighter.
"I-I-it's you!" both of the guys stuttered at once.
"Yeah," the Gold Fighter snapped dangerously, "I think you have something that belongs to me."
Both the guys looked at the cameras beside them.
"That's it," the Demi-Saiyan sneered in pleasure at making the two men nervous.
"Would you mind giving it back to me?"
"Umm," both of the paparazzi started in unison.
"Don't bother giving it me, I'll get it," the Gold Fighter smirked as he punched a hole right through the windshield as he grabbed the cameras.
Then as the two men were staring in awe they watched as Gohan crushed the cameras with his bare hands and dropped the remnants of the former cameras.
"That's all I needed," the Gold Fighter explained casually as he jumped back into the air where he flew away leaving the terrified guys. As the Gold Fighter made it to the outskirts of Satan City he turned back into Son Gohan.
Then to protect his innocence Gohan grabbed his cell phone and dialed Erasa's number.
After a few seconds of the monotone ring the bubbly blonde's voice chirped a greeting.
"Hey Erasa," Gohan replied with the best fake sick voice he could muster.
"Hey Gohan how are feeling, I guess you got sent home didn't you?" Erasa replied.
"Yeah, I was calling wondering what the homework was for our last class," Gohan explained as he threw a cough in there.
"Oh Gohan you sound awful," Erasa exclaimed sympathetically, " I hope you are laying down right now."
"Something like that," Gohan lied, "So what is the homework." "Oh yeah," Erasa giggled, "We need to read the first two chapters in that book that you handed out and write a summary on it."
"That's it?" Gohan inquired surprised, usually that teacher is brutal with the homework load.
"That's it," Erasa confirmed.
"Feel better Gohan."
"Thanks," Gohan said as he said good bye and hung up.
This was the perfect excuse for him to go over Videl's house to continue their earlier… little interaction.
Over at the Satan Mansion Videl had just sneaked in on the terrace to not be seen by any of the maids or the butler that lined all the entrances other than that one.
Then taking the back stairs she made it up to her room, still unnoticed. She was more than relieved when she made it there, she wanted to ponder the thoughts that right now consumed her. S
he couldn't help feel guilty about Gohan. She had just made out with the Gold Fighter and she was going out with Gohan.
It was just, when she was kissing the Gold Fighter it was nothing like kissing Gohan.
He had so much more passion and was so strong.
Gohan had never saved her before and sure he was well built but he couldn't fly. "Hey there," a voice from her balcony greeted.
Videl turned around to see Gohan perched on the windowsill.
"Hi," Videl laughed nervously.
"I got you your homework," Gohan explained as he pulled a book from behind his back.
"Thanks Gohan," Videl said as she grabbed the books from his hand.
She tried again to get the books after the Demi-Saiyan again refused to hand over the book.
"Gohan come on," she sighed as she began tugging harder. The half-breed teen chuckled at the expense of the raven-haired beauty.
"Fine," Videl grumbled, "I'll call Erasa for the homework."
"Hey," Gohan smirked as he grabbed her arm, "Why the sourpuss?" "Sorry, I just had a bad day," Videl stated sourly.
"Here," Gohan smiled as he pulled Videl's face close to his.
"Gohan," Videl exclaimed as she pulled away, "I have to be honest." The Demi-Saiyan stopped and gave her his complete attention.
"Gohan," Videl began as she averted her gaze from him, "I care about you, but I-I-I can't do this." "
What?" the half-breed teen inquired.
"I think we should be just friends."
"Why? What happened?" Gohan asked, even though he asked, he knew why, the Gold Fighter.
"I've found someone else, Gohan," Videl explained bluntly.
"Oh," Gohan replied, trying to act surprised. "I'm sorry, I really do care about you Gohan, but I think this is for the best," Videl stated sadly.
"Okay," Gohan said as he turned around and left through the window. Videl watched him leave and felt a stray tear roll down her face.
Gohan walked down the street where Videl's mansion was located for a little while before he noticed he was alone. After continuing walking for a little while Gohan decided he should fly.
"Hey Gohan," the two boy Demi-Saiyans chirped as the frustrated Gohan stomped through the door. "Dad's looking for you," Trunks explained in an amused tone.
Gohan ignored them as he walked off to his room. As the Demi-Saiyan continued to walk down the hall Vegeta was visible at the other end.
"You know if I'm going to be in this stupid tournament I need a good fighter as my punching bag," Vegeta sneered. "You know," Bulma began as she stepped out the lab, "We should tell the others, I mean what fun is a tournament without the old gang." "Well I guess they would be a better fight with them than the jokes on this planet," Vegeta scoffed as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"What do you think Gohan?" Bulma asked as she took off her lab jacket and hung it up on the hook by the door. The Demi-Saiyan shrugged, "I guess it would be cool." Bulma smiled, "Then why don't you go and tell them about it."
"Why not," Gohan sighed as he dumped his bag on the chair that was next to him.
"I'll be back in a few hours," Gohan explained as he pulled his jacket back on as he waved bye to Vegeta and Bulma. Using the nearest exit Gohan jumped out of the window and flew towards his first stop, Kami's lookout.
Deep in the desert, far from any city, town or village a white ship sat conspicuously on the sand, an 'M' emblem placed in the dead center.
The craft looked like it had not been there long, as the ground around it looked recently disturbed. A long sickening cackled could be heard just inside the door as it slowly opened.
When the creatures inside slowly stepped out the light grazed their faces.
There were five of them.
Two of them were both bald and had white skin, they both wore navy except the larger of the two had spandex that covered up to his mid thigh and turned into a muscle shirt.
The smaller of two wore a smile pair of navy Gi pants. Next there were the other three that all looked like aliens.
The largest one had deep red skin, a widow's peak of pitch-black hair that was in the middle of his two large horns coming from his head.
He wore a scowl and was clad in a white and blue cape and matching shirt and pants.
Then there was a creature dressed in armor; his head was quite large as it extended about a good two feet from his face.
His face was yellow but the armor around him was white and black. Last of all was a very short creature and wore a sneer that looked pure evil.
His skin was putrid yellow green and had an orange and blue outfit with a white belt that had an 'M' in the center that looked identical to the ship's.
That 'M' also was centered in each of the other four's heads. It was obvious that the smallest of them all was controlling the show. "You two know what the plan is," the smallest one barked at the humans.
"Yes Master Babidi," they replied confidently.
A slow menacing grin appeared on Babidi's face, "Excellent, return immediately, the process must begin now!"
The two bowed and blasted off into the sky.
The remaining three waited until the two were completely gone before the red skinned creature spoke, "Master Babidi, do you really think that those two can complete this? Can you really trust them with that much pure energy?"
"Dabura," Babidi snapped, "Are you questioning me?"
"N-n-no, M-ma-aster Babidi, I just thought, it would be so much more effective if I retrieve that pure energy for you," Dabura stuttered.
"I sent Summovitch and Yamu for a reason, if I wanted to I would have sent you," Babidi spat to his minion with venom in his voice.
"Yes Master Babidi," Dabura said obediently as he bowed as he followed his short yellow master back into ship. "Come Dabura, we need to start the preparations," Babidi instructed.
"Master Babidi, wait for me," the alien in white armor, Pui-Pui exclaimed quickly chased after them not wanting to be left out of the scheming.
On Kami's lookout Piccolo sat meditating on the tile as he felt his old student's arrival, the green Namek also felt the traveling of the two minions of Babidi flying towards the nearest city.
"Do you feel them Piccolo," Dende inquired the older Namek.
"Yes I do Dende," the old guardian of the earth replied as he stood up.
"What are their intentions?" Dende asked with a serious tone.
"I am not sure," Piccolo explained with his eyes closed, "Only time will tell."
